List of 13 species collected during the voyage of H.M.S. ' Challenger ' on Hawaii. Anas wyvilliana 

 described for the first time. 



[See also Report Scient. Res. Challenger, Zool. vol. ii. pp. 93-99, which is a reprint of above with a few 

 additions and plates of Buteo solitarius and Anas wyvilliana (1881).] 



1879. Dole, SanWrd. List of Birds of the Hawaiian Islands. Corrected for the Hawaiian 

 Annual, with valuable additions.

 which is most useful, as it is very difficult to get a copy of the article in the ' Hawaiian Annual and 

 Almanac.']
